This bubble is going to become the entire market, isn't it. Until it becomes too big to fail because 80% of the workforce is tied up in it. Then it is allowed to pop, costing the western world everything, all going into the pockets of the super rich, and we get to start over.

    That’s the entire point. It’s a scam.

    Compared to crypto and NFTs, there is at least something in this mix, not that I could identify it.

    I've become increasingly comfortable with LLM usage, to the point that myself from last year would hate me. Compared to projects I used to do with where I'd be deep into Google Reddit and Wikipedia, ChatGPT gives me pretty good answers much more quickly, and far more tailored to my needs.

    I'm getting into home labs, and currently everything I have runs on ass old laptops and phones, but I do daydream if the day where I can run an ethically and sustainably trained, LLM myself that compares to current GPT-5 because as much as I hate to say it, it's really useful to my life to have a sometimes incorrect but overalls knowledgeable voice that's perpetually ready to support me.

    The irony is that I'll never build a server that can run a local LLM due to the price hikes caused by the technology in the first place.

    Please hate yourself, reflect on that and walk back from contributing to destroying the environment by furthering widespread adoption of this shitty technology. The only reason you seem to get "useful answers" is because of search engine and website enshittification. What you are getting is still tons worse than a good web research 10 years ago.

    Basically you were taught to enjoy rancid butter because all restaurants around you had started tasting like shit first, then someone opened a rancid butter shop.

    I do agree entirely. If I could use the internet of 2015 I would, but I can't do so in a practical way that isn't much more tedious than asking an LLM.

    My options are the least rancid butter of the rancid butter restaurants or I churn my own. I'd love to churn my own and daydream of it, but I am busy, and can barely manage to die on every other hill I've chosen.

    web search isnt magically going back to how it was, and its not just search engines its every mf trying tk take advantage of seo and push their content to the top, search is going to get worse evry year, ai did speed it up by making a bunch of ai images pop up whenever you search an image

    problem is that the widespread use of (and thereby provision of your data to) LLMs contributes to the rise of totalitarian regimes, wage-slavery and destroying our planet's ecosystem. Not a single problem in any of our lives is important enough to justify this. And convenience because we are too lazy to think for ourselves, or to do some longer (more effort) web research, is definitely not a good excuse to be complicit in murder, torture and ecoterrorism.

    I agree except for the fact that it's unavoidable

    It's horrific, but its inescapable, the problem is not going away and while you're refusing to use LLMs to accelerate your progress, the opposition isn't

    Don't get me wrong, anyone who blindly believes sycophantic LLM garbage is a fool.

    Its taken 4 years to overcome my llm moral ocd - and its only because I need to start working, in a world where every company forces AI down your throat, there are many who simply have no choice if they want to compete

    Also I'm kinda glad I can spend more of my useful energy working towards my goals rather than battling the exact minutiae without any sort of guide

    The thing is: LLMs do not accelerate the progress of proper software development. Your processes have to be truly broken to be able to experience a net gain from using LLMs. It enables shitty coders to output pull requests that look like they were written by someone competent, and thereby effectively waste the time of skilled developers who review such pull requests out of respect for the contributor, only to find out it is utter garbage.

    I'm sorry but this is simply incorrect.

    What you are saying is true of pure vibe coding, but you get an insane net gain from using LLMs for sanity checks and as a general 'bootstrap' for a project.

    Yes it will make mistakes, but if you can actually program well so as to understand when it is incorrect, it is incredibly helpful as a tool.

    if you get a net gain, you are an untalented hack and shouldn't be let anywhere near SW development.

    You are foolish, myopic and stuck on the wrong point about AI in the first place.

    The problem with LLM bs is not that it's not as proficient as a human, that can be remedied with time.

    The problem is that it's essentially evil demon tech being used to fuck us all over

    You can hate me for using the demon tech, but do explain the logical reasoning behind your answer? It can be emotional reasoning though, no worries.

    To me it is purely like the best search engine you could ever encounter (perplexity specifically) and the pro version is a benefit for my banking choice so I slowly got sucked in to using a paid version for "free"...

    I would have been a luddite back in the day because I know exactly what it really means, and I stand with all workers.

    I am not a crazy AI nut, I'd rather crack one. I specialised in AI at uni until 2021 and then my moral OCD kept me from even touching AI since. Until I started using it purely as a replacement for a google search, unless I knew what I was looking for already and forgot identifying info.

    Would you rather spend hours searching about Linux issues and trying to decipher which package manager for which OS uses which commands has which packages to translate an applicable form of help to your installed system...

    Or would you rather type a question explaining what you want as you would to a human?

    ~~I used to be googlese but then they destroyed it, I'm a qwant user now because I champion european tech and eventual real sovereignty from the united states of america. ~~

    I know which exhausts me far less and allows me to focus on actual implementation and best practices using the limited time available to me on this earth but you do you.

    Interesting choice of words for someone who doesn't see the fire under the pot they are having a "cozy warm" bath in.

    Okay buddy. You're also in the same pot, there is no escape.

    I would love to have a real rational discussion with you, but you're incapable of challenging your own preconcieved notions.

    I am fully aware of the fire, we're all locked in to the pot, you're deciding to sink in and be steadily cooked by the water rather than try to catch a raft and escape.

    That's fine, believe you're safer for it if you want, what do you think the correct course of action is?

    Continue with liberal norms and believe you're doing 'good' because you avoid AI?

    The pot has been boiling on a higher and higher flame for years, and will continue to boil - LLM cultism just shirks responsibility and accountability, which already doesn't come to fruition anyway.

    I hate AI cultists and Peter Thiel more than I could ever hate you. I wonder if I hate them more than you do.

    it becomes too big to fail because 80% of the workforce is tied up in it

    In 2008, banking sector and auto industry needed bailouts for the investor/financial class. Certainly, there was no need to layoff core banking employees, if government support was the last resort to keep the doors open AND gain controlling stake over future banking profitablity in a hopefully sustainable (low risk in addition to low climate/global destruction) fashion. The auto bailout did have harsher terms than the banking bailout, and recessions definitely harm the sector, but the bailouts were definitely focused on the executives/shareholders who have access to political friendships that result in gifts instead of truly needed lifelines, or wider redistribution of benefits from sustainable business.

    The point, is that workforce is a "talking point" with no actual relevance in bailouts/too big to fail. That entire stock market wealth is concentrated in the sector, and that we have to all give them the rest of our money (and militarist backed surveillance freedom) or "China will win" at the only sector we pretend to have a competitive chance in, is why our establishment needs another "too big to fail moment". We've started QE ahead of the crash this time.

    Work force is relatively small in AI sector. Big construction, but relatively low operations employment. It displaces other hiring too.
